    Hi kvcreom,

    An eccentric is a person who exhibits quirky, unusual patterns of behavior. Eccentric people are generally seen as harmless but unusual in their behavior and mannerisms. Regards.

    Source(s): So then what you REALLY meant to ask was for specific examples of thoughts and behaviors associated with eccentric people. Actions and deeds are roughly equivalent. We don't usually refer to other people as "it." "Specific actions, thoughts, or deeds?" A reclusive old woman who keeps 40 cats in her house. The man who says he thinks the condensation trails left in the sky by planes is part of a government plot to use us all as subjects in secret experiments. Here's a third action/deed that illustrates the quality of eccentricity. A man living down the block who has a ball of string that's grown to the size of a car in his back yard . Hope this helps and is fast enough. Regards.
